Classification of nuclear reactors
Nuclear reactors can be classified based on neutron energy, fuel state, fuel material, moderator, type, and geometry. Intermediate reactors have neutron velocities between fast and slow reactors. Fast reactors use high energy neutrons while slow reactors use neutron capture by slow neutrons. Reactors can use solid, liquid, or gas fuels made of natural uranium, enriched uranium, plutonium, or uranium-233. Moderators include light water, heavy water, graphite, beryllium, or hydrocarbons. Common reactor types are pressurized water reactors, boiling water reactors, CANDU, gas cooled, and liquid metal reactors. Reactors are used for research, power production, breeding

Breeder reactor
The document discusses different types of breeder reactors, including liquid-metal cooled fast breeder reactors (LMFBRs), gas-cooled fast breeder reactors, molten salt breeder reactors, and light water breeder reactors. It provides details on the design and operation of each type of breeder reactor.
Better and faster
Fast breeder reactors can breed more fissile material than they consume, improving fuel utilization. They use liquid metal like sodium for cooling instead of water as moderators are not needed. India's first commercial fast breeder reactor, the 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor, is under construction and will go critical in 2014. Fast breeders and reprocessing of spent fuel can help reduce nuclear waste and allow uranium resources to last much longer than current light water reactors.
Gas-Cooled Reactor
The document discusses three main types of nuclear reactors: boiling water reactors (BWR), pressurized water reactors (PWR), and gas-cooled reactors. It provides details on the basic design and operation of BWRs and PWRs, including their primary advantages and disadvantages. For BWRs, water is flashed directly to steam in the core and piped to a turbine, while PWRs use a primary and secondary water loop to prevent boiling in the core. Gas-cooled reactors use graphite as a moderator and gases like CO2 or helium as coolants.
Boiling water reactorbapi
The boiling water reactor (BWR) is a type of light water nuclear reactor that is used to generate electrical power. In a BWR, the reactor core heats water, which boils and turns to steam to directly drive a turbine. The steam then goes to a condenser and is converted back to liquid water before returning to the reactor core. This differs from a pressurized water reactor where the heated water does not boil. BWRs have advantages like higher thermal efficiency due to eliminating a heat exchanger circuit and using a lower pressure vessel than PWRs. However, BWRs also have disadvantages such as potential radioactive contamination of turbine mechanisms and requiring more elaborate safety precautions.

It discusses reactors based on neutron energy, coolant used, moderator, and fuel enrichment. The main components of a nuclear reactor are described as the fuel, moderator, coolant, control rods, and shielding. Examples of reactor types are provided and compared such as BWR, PWR, PHWR, GCR, LWGR, and FBR. Current and planned nuclear reactor units in India are also listed.
Nuclear Reactors
This document discusses the components and types of nuclear reactors. It describes six main types: 1) pressurized water reactors, 2) boiling water reactors, 3) pressurized heavy water reactors, 4) advanced gas-cooled reactors, 5) RBMK light water graphite-moderated reactors, and 6) fast neutron reactors. Common components include fuel rods, moderator, control rods, coolant, and pressure vessels. Pressurized water reactors are the most common type and use water as both coolant and moderator under high pressure.
95066866 types-of-nuclear-reactors
There are several types of nuclear reactors classified by their operation, purpose, fuel, and coolant. Reactors are either thermalized, which slow neutrons, or fast reactors. Their purpose can be power production, fuel conversion, breeding more fuel (breeder reactors), or research. Breeder reactors produce more fissile plutonium than they consume. Reactors also differ in whether they use solid, liquid, or gas fuels and water, heavy water, liquid metals like sodium, or gases like carbon dioxide as coolants. The most common reactor types are light water reactors (using regular water), boiling water reactors, and pressurized heavy water reactors.
Candu reactor
The document discusses the CANDU nuclear reactor, a pressurized heavy water reactor designed in Canada. It provides details on the design of CANDU reactors, including their use of natural uranium fuel and heavy water as both moderator and coolant. CANDU reactors allow for online refueling without shutdown and have safety features like shutdown rods and poison injection. The document also outlines the pros and cons of CANDU reactors and their contribution to nuclear energy globally, with over 20 reactors operating or under construction in 7 countries.
178875555 fast-breeder-reactors-pdf
Fast breeder reactors aim to produce more fissile material than they consume, extending the energy produced from uranium resources. They achieve this through breeding, where fertile uranium-238 is transformed into fissile plutonium-239. Fast breeder reactors also allow for recycling of nuclear waste by burning minor actinides. The Experimental Breeder Reactor I produced the first nuclear electricity in 1951. It was followed by Experimental Breeder Reactor II which operated successfully for over 25 years. Prototype fast reactors have been built up to 250 MWe power levels while commercial plants have reached 1200 MWe like Super Phénix-1 in France. Fast reactors have inherent safety advantages due to their negative temperature
Gas cooled reactors
This document discusses different types of gas-cooled nuclear reactors. It describes Magnox reactors, UNGG reactors, advanced gas-cooled reactors, gas-cooled fast reactors, gas turbine modular helium reactors, very high temperature reactors, high temperature gas cooled reactors, pebble bed reactors, and prismatic block reactors. Key features of each type are highlighted such as the coolant used, moderator, fuel type, efficiency, and applications.
208564533 nuclear-reactors-types
The document summarizes the main types of nuclear reactors, including:
1) Gas cooled, graphite moderated reactors like Magnox and AGR reactors which use carbon dioxide gas and graphite.
2) Heavy water cooled and moderated CANDU reactors which use heavy water as both coolant and moderator.
3) Water cooled and moderated reactors like Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWR) which use ordinary water as both coolant and moderator.
4) Water cooled, graphite moderated RBMK reactors which use graphite as a moderator and water as a coolant, allowing it to boil directly.
Gas cooled reactors
Gas cooled reactors use gas as a coolant, which has advantages over liquid coolants. Early gas cooled reactors used air or carbon dioxide as coolants. Key advantages of gas coolants include continuous cooling flow without phase changes, ease of temperature control and calculation, and reduced risks of fuel-coolant interactions. Later advanced gas cooled reactors used carbon dioxide at higher pressures and temperatures, or helium, to achieve improved efficiencies over 40%. Generation IV gas cooled fast reactors aim to further boost efficiency by combining high operating temperatures with fast neutron spectra.
Candu reactor
The CANDU (Canada Deuterium Uranium) reactor is a Canadian-invented heavy water reactor that uses natural uranium fuel, pressurized heavy water as a coolant and unpressurized heavy water as a moderator. It contains horizontal pressure tubes that circulate the fuel and coolant, transferring heat to steam generators before entering turbines to generate electricity. Unlike other reactors, CANDU uses unenriched uranium and heavy water, allows refueling during operation, and controls reactions using absorber rods inserted into the core.
Nuclear 2 by RANA SAIFULLAH KHAN
There are two main types of nuclear reactors: thermal (slow) reactors and fast reactors. Thermal reactors have a large, heavy core and use moderators like graphite or water to slow neutrons, making them easier to control. Fast reactors have a smaller, more compact size and can breed fuel.
Nuclear fuel can be natural uranium, which contains the fissile U-235, or artificial fuel produced from fertile materials like U-238 or Th-232. Reactors are classified as burners, converters, or breeders depending on whether they only produce heat or can convert or breed more fuel. Breeder reactors are able to produce more fuel than they consume.
Reactors require effective
Advanced Heavy Water Reactor
The document describes the Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR), a 300 MWe thorium-fueled nuclear power reactor developed in India. It has passive safety features like a negative void coefficient and gravity-driven water pool for passive heat removal. It uses vertical pressure tubes and boiling light water for cooling. The AHWR has completed structured peer review and is undergoing pre-licensing safety assessment. It aims to provide safe, secure, and proliferation-resistant nuclear energy using thorium.

Advanced nuclear reactor in nuclear power station
A nuclear reactor is a device to initiate and control a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Nuclear reactors are used at nuclear power plants for electricity generation and in propulsion of ships. Heat from nuclear fission is passed to a working fluid (water or gas), which runs through turbines. These either drive a ship's propellers or turn electrical generators. Nuclear generated steam in principle can be used for industrial process heat or for district heating. Some reactors are used to produce isotopes for medical and industrial use, or for production of plutonium for weapons. Some are run only for research. Today there are about 450 nuclear power reactors that are used to generate electricity in about 30 countries around the world.
Nuclear reactor
A nuclear reactor is a device that maintains a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction to produce controlled nuclear fission. Nuclear reactors were first conceptualized in the 1930s and the first artificial reactor was built in 1942. There are two main types of reactors - research reactors designed to produce radiation beams and power reactors that produce heat primarily to drive power generators. A reactor contains nuclear fuel, a neutron moderator, and a coolant and uses control rods to regulate the fission rate.
Candu reactor ppt
CANDU reactors were first developed in the 1950s-1960s in Canada as a partnership between government and private organizations. CANDU reactors use natural uranium fuel, pressurized heavy water as a moderator, and pressurized tubes to contain the fuel and coolant as it circulates. Key components include the pressurized fuel tubes, fuel elements, reactor core, steam generator, turbines, condenser, and cooling water. Neutrons are slowed by heavy water, heating it up which is then used to power the turbines and generate electricity. Control rods are used for start-up, shutdown, and regulating power during operation. Advantages include not requiring enriched fuel and low fuel consumption, while disadvantages include the high

Nuclear reactor seminar
The document summarizes information about nuclear reactors presented in a seminar. It discusses how nuclear fission works and was discovered, the stages of the fission process, and controlled versus uncontrolled nuclear chain reactions. It then describes the key components of nuclear power plants, including the reactor core, coolant, control rods and safety systems. Different classifications of reactors are outlined based on the nuclear reaction, moderator, coolant, generation, and intended use. The history of nuclear energy programs in India and major nuclear accidents are also summarized.
nuclear power plant
Nuclear power plants generate electricity through nuclear fission in a reactor. There are two main types of reactors - pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors. Pressurized water reactors keep water under pressure so it heats but does not boil, while boiling water reactors allow the water to boil. The heated water generates steam that powers turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. Nuclear power plants produce little greenhouse gas emissions during operation but some during other stages of the nuclear fuel cycle. Radioactive waste is a byproduct and must be safely contained and isolated.
Thermoelectric and Thermionic Generators
Thermoelectric and thermionic devices convert heat directly into electricity using solid-state phenomena.
Thermoelectric devices rely on the Seebeck effect where a temperature gradient across conductive materials produces an electric current. Common thermoelectric materials include bismuth telluride, lead telluride, and silicon-germanium alloys.
Thermionic converters boil electrons from a hot cathode across a vacuum gap to a cooler anode surface. Cesium gas filling can improve efficiency but introduces sealing and corrosion challenges.
Combining thermionic and thermoelectric principles could leverage the higher efficiency of thermionic devices with thermoelectric devices' ability to utilize lower temperature heat sources.
Nuclear reactor in india
India ranks 6th in the world for nuclear power generation. As of 2010, India has 20 nuclear power plants generating 4,560 MW total. The Kundankulam Nuclear Power Plant is a prominent example, located in Tamil Nadu. It uses a pressurized water reactor with enriched uranium fuel and light water coolant to generate 917 MW. India operates both pressurized heavy water reactors, known as CANDU reactors which can use natural uranium fuel, and light water reactors at various nuclear plants across the country.

Presentation on nuclear reactor on9 10-07Sant Longowal Institute Of Engineering & Technology, Longowal, Sangrur (Punjab)
This document provides information about nuclear reactors through a presentation with 32 slides. It begins with introducing the basic structure and layout of a nuclear power plant. It then discusses the benefits of nuclear power and how a plant works by using uranium fuel to produce heat through nuclear fission. The presentation explains where the energy comes from during fission and includes diagrams of key reactor components like the core, moderator, and shielding. It also classifies different types of reactors and describes several basic reactor systems in more detail like pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors.Air bearing
An air bearing is a non-contact system that uses a film of pressurized gas, usually air, to separate two surfaces moving relative to each other. It has less friction than other bearing types like rolling or plain bearings since there is no contact between surfaces. Air bearings also don't require lubrication and have long lifespans. There are two main types: aerostatic bearings which provide high lift and aerodynamic bearings which provide enough lift to float loads of up to 100 tons. Air bearings work by inflating to form a seal and allowing compressed air to escape and float the load above the surface. They have applications in lifting heavy weights and hovercraft transportation.
